VGA LCD on Mac Mini G4?
Posted by: MacClassic10 on 2012-03-22 17:55:44
What type of adapter do I need to properly hook up a vga lcd to a Mac Mini G4. I ordered what I thought was the correct adapter on Amazon but it don't connect to the back of the computer or monitor.... :-/

Its got a DVI-I output which basically works with any display that doesn't require a dual link connector. It carries both that analog signal as well as digital.

I've used a VGA to DVI plug before, works great.

I'm guessing this is the one I need. http://www.amazon.com/Syba-Connectland-CL-ADA31002-Female-Adapter/dp/B002R0DZXU/ref=pd_sim_e_2

The vga cord has prongs on it, so it needs to go into holes on the adapter not vice versa.

My Mac Mini G4 had a DVI -> VGA adaptor in the box.

Works great, have had it hooked up to CRTs and LCDs over the years.
